Man I really suck at this. But perhaps I can redeem myself. See if anyone will take an interest in a quirky lesbian from Ohio. I am going to try and write. Show what I have been working on. My writing portfolio has snagged... things always seem more finished in my head.
I Got Religion
It was like that time we sat outside the movie theatre,
and wrote messages in chalk,
Except we drank coffee.
We talked about Jesus and you told me he is love,
I told you I was a lesbian,
and you thought I needed to be saved.
I was quiet, and instead of looking at you
I watched my coffee get cold.
“I think I am finding real love in me.
And it makes me happy.”
I still believe in God.
ok, this makes me SAD! i'm sure you know being saved doesn't. . . well, gosh. . . it's kinda between you and God, not you and anyone else, right?
ReplyDeletegrrrr. . . things like this make me sad to be a Christian.
